1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Reducing the punicalagin content is an effective strategy for eliminating the astringency of pomegranate juice. In this study, pomegranate juice was used as the raw material, and tannase was applied to convert punicalagin into ellagic acid and gallic acid. The effects of tannase concentration, reaction time, and temperature on juice deastringency were evaluated, along with the antioxidant and physicochemical properties of the treated juice. The results demonstrated that, under optimal conditions (33.9 U/100 mL tannase, 30 °C, 90 min reaction time), the punicalagin content decreased by 27.8%, while the ellagic acid and gallic acid levels increased by 24.2% and 32.3%, respectively, effectively reducing the juice's astringency. Under these conditions, the total phenolic content reached 110 mg/100 g, with a free radical scavenging capacity of 69.8%, significantly enhancing the juice's antioxidant properties. These results suggest that tannase treatment of pomegranate juice enhances the polyphenol content, thereby improving its health benefits without compromising the product quality.
